Director AL Vijay had instructed the entire cast and crew of the Saivam unit not to consume non-vegetarian food during the making of the film. However, the film’s music composer and main actor Nassar seem to have disregarded his requested.At the audio launch of Saivam, GV Prakash said that he did consume non-vegetarian food at the start of the project but quit later until he completed the assignment. Nassar, on the other hand, said that he and his son Baadshah took off to the hotels nearby to gorge on the meat as they could not control the urge to eat. It may be mentioned here that Baadshah will be making his acting debut with this film.
